Raleigh, Jan. 12.—Looking back

to the remaining eight, a dozen, or
fifteen more. Governor Ehringhaus
appears to be in position to write as
much of his ideas into law as any
man who has ever held his great of
fice.
Nearly all the observers of events
concede to the governor a hold on
the General Assembly that no recent
predecessor has had. The agricul
tural East, whose pitiful plight two
years ago justified the militant pes

licy. lias become the governor’s un
qualified friend, and Piedmont, with
its manufacturing interests, has sent
men here who will follow the exe
cutive lead. The governor's message
Thursday night, by no means com
pleted the program which he will lay
before the assembly. He has many
things more to present. After the first
few days of this assembly, one un
hesitatingly prophesies that this body
is going to deal generously with per.
sons and institutions deserving gen
erosity. and that the governor will re
ceive legislative sanction to the over
whelming majority of his requests.

; rental system for school textbooks ap
j pears likely to be incorpor ated in the
legislation enacted by the 1935 legis
i lature, if opinion of observers here is
of any value.
Several members of the General As
sembly are out spoken in their ap.
prove 1 of such a step. Others, and
they are many? say they want free
textbooks. The governor himself said
the same ihing Thursday night in his
message to the legislature. Hg sug
gested that steps be taken toward the.
establishment of a. rental system
which would eventually lead to a free
| system. He pointed out that 25 per
i cent of the State’s elementary school
pupils were without books for the
i first six weeks of th e school term,
and that represents a very severe
loss, not only to the pupils them
selves, but to the taxpayers as well,
because that much schooling is there
by lost.
Dr. Ralph McDonald, of Winston-
Salem. House member, said. "It suits
! me just fine. I have long been an ad

“It is an excellent move,” said John

endorsed the rental system. "We have
such a system in my own county and
